Tank Maintenance
The machine is designed to rest on the floor of the tank in an event when the tank is drained. If the machine is
left undisturbed, the machine will naturally float and self adjust when the tank is refilled.
During the event that a potable water tank is taken off-line for maintenance for re-coating, sandblasting, or
cleaning, a few considerations need to be followed for the care of the machine. The best solution for the care
of the machine is to remove the unit from the tank until the maintenance is complete. Often times there is an
access hatch thru the side of a tank which the machine in most cases can easily be removed. Sometimes this
is not an option and the following guidelines should be followed in the event of interior tank work.
STEP 1:
Turn the machine circulation equipment "Off"
if the tank is projected to be dry for more than a few
days. The On/Off switch is located in the machine
electronic controller mounted to the pv module stand.
STEP 2:
Cover the entire machine, including the hose
and intake assembly, using a heavy duty tarp. Be
sure to tuck the tarp under the machine to avoid any
sand being collected on the machine in the case of
sandblasting.
STEP 3:
The electrical cord and chemical injection cord
will be suspended from the ceiling so extreme care
needs to be taken to prevent damage to the cord and
hose from any abrasions from blasting. Both injection
and electrical may be disconnected and coiled up
under the tarp if desired.
STEP 4:
Once the maintenance is complete, remove
the tarp and reconnect the electrical cord and chemical
injection hose (if applicable). The machine may need
to be cleaned from any dust or sand that may have
made it’s way thru the tarp. A key component that
should be checked and cleaned is the impeller bushing
and impeller tip. Please follow the proper procedure
earlier in this section.
